Component Type: kbuild config

Description: TCP/IP networking

More info: These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local Ethernets. It is highly recommended to say Y here (this will enlarge your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!). For an excellent introduction to Linux networking, please read the Linux Networking HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. If you say Y here and also to "/proc file system support" and "Sysctl support" below, you can change various aspects of the behavior of the TCP/IP code by writing to the (virtual) files in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/*; the options are explained in the file <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.rst>. Short answer: say Y.
